Quote by William Shakespeare

Violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which are destroyed at the first kiss.

Violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die,

Summary

This quote implies that indulging in passionate and dangerous pleasures often results in their own destruction. The comparison of violent delights to fire and powder suggests that their initial intensity and allure inevitably lead to their downfall. These indulgences may provide temporary pleasure and triumph, but ultimately they self-destruct, just as fire and powder are destroyed by the first spark. In this way, the quote serves as a cautionary reminder of the consequences that can arise from pursuing extreme and reckless actions.

You have to be grateful to existence that it has chosen you to be a passage for a few beautiful children. But you are not to interfere in their growth, in their potential. You are not to impose yourself upon them. They are not going to live in the same times, they are not going to face the same problems. They will be part of another world. DonÂ´t prepare them for this world, this society, this time, because then you will be creating troubles for them. They will find themselves unfit, unqualified.
